[uClinux-dev] DST in force?

Hi David, thanks for your reply.

I have in fact the inverse problem (not being really a problem). I want
users to enter local date/time into a text box without taking into
account whether they are in summer time or not. So, anyone could just
copy the time from any clock, even if it's been corrected by DST.

"date MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]" accepts local time without DST correction.
For my timezone (CET-1CEST-2,M3.5.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/03:00:00), Entering
this date: 03/26/07 15:00 will result into 03/26/07 16:00 just because
the system knows that we're in DST and the time correction must be done.

Thanks again,

Daniel.
